My goodness!!! I have not posted anything for nearly a month.
During the Deepavali & Hari Raya week, I was away in Singapore for a retreat with Auntie Daul and Sr. Elizabeth at Marymount Convent.
It was so good to be there again after such a long time. Haven't been there for years - can't recall how long though. It was really good to see Auntie Daul and Auntie Chai again. Auntie Chai is really frail and weak now but her spirit is still on high. It was sad when we said our goodbyes. It was as if we were saying our final 'goodbyes' till we meet again.
2 weekends ago I went to KL by myself. The time alone with me was a refreshing welcome. I visited Petaling Street, the British Council, UK Education Exhibition Fair and....... my highlight was visiting 'Aquaria". Well, you all know how I love the underwater world !!!
The Network commitee has agreed to my 6 months leave starting mid February 2006 till mid August 2006 (which I applied end of July). They don't feel I should resign hence have given me half paid leave which I really did not expect. Bless them!
Been busy trying to finish as much as I can before next month (when a Japanese Volunteer [JV] arrives) and before I take my long leave.
Currently, Network is undergoing a major repair - ceiling, roofing, painting and touching up the whole place where needs be. The bunch of workers (actually a family affair - Mom, Dad & Son) are really nice people. We've had some really good conversations. They will be keeping me company for the next 3 weeks. I am hoping they will finish all the work by 2nd week of December 2005.
Phew! We finally managed to find someone to come in to work at Network. JV is expected to arrive KL on the 16th December and officially in Ipoh on 20th December.
Am also arranging for JV's short term (6-7 months) accomodation and getting their office space ready.
It's going to be exciting with all the new changes and adjustments.
I can't help but wonder what next month and next year will hold. Yet, it'll be a wonderful change and a time of expecting the unexpected. I am open and let's see where all these leads me to.
